The Protagonist of the Erotic
Anne Carson by Canan Marasligil
Anne Carson is a literary superstar. At sixteen years old, she fell in love with the ancient Greek language and pursued her passion by translating Sappho, Sophocles and Euripides. From the end of the 1980s until today, Anne Carson has published a plethora of works that investigate the twists and turns of love, sexual yearning and despair, affirming the tragic beauty of the monstrous and the fury of a desire that transcends all standards. Her radically modern oeuvre wonderfully disturbs categories as it blends poetry, prose, translation and academic thinking. Have you ever heard about brainsex? Lust is a gli...

With today’s immediacy to produce anything how do we find time for process and reflection? And why sometimes it is liberating to rather focus on the process: to shift our focus away from outcome and dive deep into the opportunities for growth that process offers. They walk you through some of their own processes and reference discussions and books that influenced their journey. They also reveal how th...

A Dreamer's Night Talks - Episode 10 - on migraines
In this tenth episode of my nocturnal stream of consciousness, I talk about migraines. My most recent migraine attack lasted two days. I open with a poem by Emily Dickinson which serves as an epigraph to Siri Hustvedt’s book The Shaking Woman or A History of My Nerves, in which she writes about her migraines. I also quote Hustvedt, and further discuss the paradox of surrendering to migraines, yet remaining “creative” during an attack. I mention my Instagram account @cananmarasligil and the hashtag I use to capture those migraine moments: #lovestorywithamigraine.

Tonight I dive into my creative process. As I am sitting in the middle of my living room, surrounded by all my art supplies: paper, paints, ink, books… I start by telling you about my "flowers of the revolution" which were seeds distributed at weekly protests in the former mining area in Northern France, and I brought back to my home in Amsterdam where they bloom today! Seeds are ideas, and they need time to grow. Flowers, ideas… process and taking the time… What brings it all together for me these days, is my new passion for doing image...

a Dreamer's Night Talks - Episode 06 - on the generosity of the night
I was cycling back home through the night, I thought about a poem and what the night means to me. Here I share some thoughts, fairly quickly, read some poetry, all while a tiny bit tipsy. That's where these lazy rhymes come from, probably. Much love to you all and thank you for listening. I am reading the poem “Night” by Rainer Maria Rilke. I could not find the translator’s name, if you happen to know, please do let me know.

A Dreamer's Night Talks - Episode 04 - on the paradoxes of my memory
Welcome back in my nocturnal mind. In this fourth episode (which I start and end with poetry) I explore memory: what does it mean to forget or to remember? Is it an active choice? An effort? Why do I keep certain memories alive through writing, journaling, archiving my whole life through art and creativity? I also touch on how, even when we want to forget, algorithms do slap us in the face with hidden memories. Enjoy! The book I mention is Sontag, Her LIfe and Work, by Benjamin Moser (Harper Collins)

However, alongside this we encounter an enormous amount of love for the geography she lives in, especially the city of Istanbul.
